This is utter, utter knee jerk nonsense.
'Britain’s air regulator has today banned flying displays over land by vintage jet planes following the Shoreham Airshow crash which police fear killed up to 20 people.
Older aircraft will now instead be limited to fly-pasts, with no “high energy” aerobatics allowed. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) also announced that Hawker Hunter aircraft of the sort involved in Saturday’s disaster will be banned from civil air shows.'
Inevitable, sadly. Pandering to the something must be done brigade.
Surely they'll quietly rescind this in a few months' time when everything's died down?
Actually I've made the schoolboy error of accepting journalism as truth, there.
"died down" might be an unfortunate choice of words in the circumstances
Air shows are f**king pointless tho.
Is this them acknowledging that there was mechanical failure involved? Is the Hunter that came down
the same as Johnathan Waley's Miss Demeanour which I understand is for sale at present?
Now there's no need to be so snappy, is there?
